This pamphlet contains articles printed in the Socialist since 2009. They are largely written by health workers or Socialist party members involved in campaigning against the attacks taking place against the NHS. This pamphlet charts the cuts and privatisation taking place within the NHS, but it also gives the other side of the story - of workers and campaigners fighting back.

Peter Taaffe and Tony Mulhearn's book depicting the struggle of the Militant-led Liverpool City Council 1983-7 against the Thatcher governments cuts, which draws out numeorus lessons for future struggles.

This book is for socialists who are aware of the policies of the SWP, including SWP members who can still be won to a genuine Marxism. The wrong methods of the SWP hinder the task of rebuilding the labour movement on socialist and Marxist lines.
